Hello all. Need help with my laptop and I'm not computer savvy at all.|
It has two HHD drives, 500GB each, the primary one in SATA port 1 has crashed when it fell and the laptop no longer recognises it. The second hard drive in SATA port 2 is blank, I know it should have been used as back up but I never did. I still have the original operating/recovery CD that came with the laptop, can I download the recovery CD onto the second hard drive and start using the laptop again or do I need to take it to a technician to be repaired?
If I can use the second hard drive, how exactly do I go about downloading the recovery CD to it?
Many thanks for any help!
